If your idea of stability is not that lofty, then consider setting aside cash for your retirement plan in the future.However, don’t make your goals too complicated because while the big victory should be looming in the horizon, you have to remember that attainable goals are easier to look out for.
There are several other things you can do with your cash to make more of it in the future; however, it helps to know the foundations of stability. So before you start giving cash to any little start-up you find interesting, make sure you can take risks from a safe place.
